Welcome to My Blog



For many of you, this Blog may be difficult to read. The truth be known, it is extremely difficult for me to write. Why then, you may wonder, have I created this Blog. It's for the children, the teens and the adults, they have become, who have suffered from the result of Childhood ABUSE. I am one of those Adults.

I buried, somewhere deep inside, the atrocities put upon me by the very people I trusted, my parents. I made excuses for them. I blamed myself, I thought I deserved to be treated horribly. I thought "abuse" was a normal way of life. I "knew" only what I lived. It took many, many years for me to actually remember what had happened to me. When that day came, the rush of memories became a nightmare to relive. The path to awareness, for me, has taken many years of Therapy, which is still on-going, once a week.

I have issues. I do not trust. I can not give or receive true and lasting love. My ego has been fractured. I have Chronic Depression, Panic/Anxiety Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the biggie......Dissociative Identity Disorder. This last diagnosis is fairly new. I learned of it about 8 months ago, through intense therapy with a Psychologist, specializing in DID. Later, in another post, I will delve deeper into DID, for it is a complex coping mechanism, which evolved in my early childhood.

For now, I ask of you, to save a child you know or perhaps "think" is suffering from abuse, to please call the Child Abuse Hot line in your area...and SAVE A CHILD!

Thanks for visiting the "Haunted House".
